I have a folder on my bookmark bar titled "Articles". When I don't have time to read an interesting article I see, I add it to that folder. When I'm bored and can't find anything to read, I open that folder.
I'd argue that most people's pain point isn't lack of remembering they have articles saved to read.

#5Pocket (which used to be called readitlater) is a superior option in my opinion http://getpocket.com/ it has a desktop app, ipad, iphone, android, chrome extension ... and integrates with a shitload of apps (Newsblur, feedly etc etc). It also very beautifully designed. I use it every day, and have done so since it was first released.

It seems this provides a slightly different service. It creates email reminders to remind you to go back to an article. I don't think Pocket has that functionality.

#7Why only URLs ?
Replace it with a textfield (140 Chars) and it is a reminder for everything.
Auto-Conntect with Calendersoftware would be nice too.

#8This functionality exists - Click the up-arrow to the left of the article, it will log it in saved-stories and you can reread it later. Added bonus is that you +1 the article so others know you found it worthwhile.

I agree. I just tag articles I throw in there, and when I need to reference something, I look for the appropriate article that I saved off.
